PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

We're proud to present another beautiful Suhr Classic S Antique HSS, this time in a timeless black finish with maple fingerboard! A timeless color combination and look for an S-style guitar, this Antique also has a nitro finish and just the right amount of aging to make the guitar feel worn-in and perfect in your hands.

If you're looking at this instrument, chances are you're already familiar with the impeccable reputation that Suhr have built for themselves over the years. Known for their high-end boutique hot-rodded guitars, the craftsmanship and playability of these guitars is unparalleled. If you're looking for something that will be reminiscent of that old-school S-type you had back in the day but want something that has evolved and been improved upon with today’s greatest guitar-building techniques - well, you can stop your search right here.

The silent (that's right! No more noisy 60-cycle hum!) single-coil circuitry allows you to retain 100% of that genuine single coil sound without any of the noise. The V63 pickups, made with the same Alnico V magnets sourced for real vintage pickups, are voiced for authentic 1963 “S” tones and they do an amazing job of recreating that sound. But the beauty here is that the only noise coming out of your guitar will be music that you are creating. You can isolate any of the pickups without ever worrying about added hiss. The SSV in the bridge position is solidly a "PAF"-style humbucker optimized for a bolt-on guitar context, and it has just the right amount of warmth and brightness to rock hard whilst still blending very well with the single-coils.

Add the supremely functional Suhr locking tuners, fantastic Gotoh 510 2-point tremolo, contoured heel and other contemporary appointments and improvements, this Classic Antique is vintage sound meets modern playability wrapped up in a gorgeous package.
